- NAME
- BackMan -- backs up your data.
-
- INPUTS
- DRIVE/K - drive name(s), as DF0:, PC0:, etc.
- Doesn't need trailing colon, but will be truncated at the first
- colon if present (i.e. you could say "DF0:foo" if you really
- wanted to).
-
- DEVICE/K - name of trackdisk-like Exec device (say, scsi.device).
- The device must support the TD_GETGEOMETRY command to work with
- BackMan. Almost any trackdisk-like device will do, but if you get
- unlikely disk sizes it probably lacks full support of the command
- in question (for example, diskspare.device 1.6 will say it can
- hold something like 512 Mb per disk).
-
- However, avoid naming the device itself and stick to the standard
- DOS drive name if possible (DFx: for trackdisk.device, PCx: for
- mfm.device, etc.), because the interface is much more reliable.
-
- SHOW/S - print out complete file catalogs' listings.
- Only selected entries will be shown.
- The LIST option automatically enables SHOW and does nothing else.
-
- NOCOM/S - don't backup/restore file comment.
- Especially useful when restoring files to a MS-DOS® disk or
- partition handled by CrossDOS® (or similar), since the MS-DOS®
- file system doesn't support comments and you would get a "Can't
- set comment" error for every file that has a comment. Can also
- save some memory and disk space if you don't need to backup
- comments and your files have them.
-
- NOTE: this options refers to files' comments, while the next
- refers to the global backup comment. Don't confuse the two.
-
- COM=COMMENT/K - backup comment.
- This comment will be shown every time the backup is read.
-
- By default, the comment will be set to the name of the drawer
- being backed up.
-
- KEYS
- Press CTRL-C to abort BackMan.
- Press CTRL-F to stop (pause) BackMan; press CTRL-F again to restart.
